Teach Engineering: May the Magnetic Force Be With You

Curated by ACT

This lesson begins with a demonstration of the deflection of an electron beam. Young scholars then review their knowledge of the cross product and the right hand rule with sample problems. After which, students study the magnetic force on a charged particle as compared to the electric force. The following lecture material covers the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field with respect to the direction of the field. Finally, young scholars apply these concepts to understand the magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Its associated activity allows students to further explore the force on a current carrying wire.
